Games
With its groundbreaking technologies, iPod touch puts an amazing gaming experience in the palm of your hand.
Get in the Game
Developers all over the world are creating exciting games unlike anything you’ve ever seen on an iPod or mobile device. Many games come alive with stunning 3D graphics and immerse you in the action with the advanced technologies in iPod touch. There’s even a built-in speaker, so you can hear all the action.
Fingertip Control
Many games for iPod touch use Multi-Touch to give you precise, fingertip control over game elements. Use your finger to drag your pieces around the board in chess or dice games. Or pinch to enlarge or shrink your view, rotate your character left or right, or just tap to make a selection.
Tilt, Turn, and Go
The built-in accelerometer actually responds to your movements, so you can tilt and turn your iPod touch to control the action. It’s perfect for racing games–where your entire iPod touch acts as a steering wheel–and for tap-and-tilt games like Super Monkey Ball, in which your character rolls to your movements.
The App Store

iPod touch supports rich HTML email, so images and photos appear alongside text. And you see email attachments in their original formats, not stripped-down versions. Rotate, zoom, and pan in more than a dozen standard file and image formats, including PDF; Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; and iWork.
Access it All
Access your email from popular providers–including MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Yahoo! Mail, Google Gmail, and AOL–and most industry-standard IMAP and POP mail systems.
Send Fast
iPod touch recognizes email addresses in different applications. If you run across an email address on a web page or a map listing, for example, just tap it; iPod touch opens a new message and addresses it for you.

Stay in Sync
Connect iPod touch to your computer, and the events that you’ve created on-the-go automatically sync to Microsoft Outlook on a PC or iCal on a Mac. And all the events you’ve added on your computer sync to iPod touch.
Three Ways to View
iPod touch gives you three ways to view your calendars. List view shows you all your appointments in the coming days as a comprehensive list, which you can scroll up and down. Day view displays one day’s worth of appointments visually. And Month view offers an at-a-glance look at an entire month.
Contacts
Put names, email addresses, phone numbers, and more at your fingertips.

Organized by Groups
If you keep your contacts organized into groups–such as co-workers, friends, family, and so on–iPod touch will, too. And iPod touch can hold more than just names, email addresses, and phone numbers. You also can track birthdays, websites, nicknames, and notes.
Stocks, Weather, and Notes
Stay on top of it all.
Check Stocks
Stocks on iPod touch shows you performance information for any stock you choose. When you want more details about a stock’s performance, tap the Y! for instant access to Yahoo! Finance.
Get Weather
Check worldwide weather at home or away. Add the cities you want, then flick back and forth to get six-day forecasts for each. Tap the Y! to open a Yahoo! city guide that shows you what’s happening, rain or shine.

iPod touch now includes built-in Nike + iPod support. |
Nike + iPod
Get the most out of your workout.
Tune Your Run
iPod touch now includes built-in Nike + iPod support. Just slip the Nike + iPod Sensor (available separately) into your Nike+ shoe and start your run. The sensor communicates wirelessly with your iPod touch, tracking your time, distance, and calories burned. It even gives you voice feedback on your progress.
Tune Your Cardio Workout
This feature also works with new cardio equipment available in many fitness centers. Just look for treadmills, ellipticals, stair steppers, and stationary bikes that are Nike + iPod compatible.
Sync with Nikeplus.com
When you get back to your computer, sync your iPod touch via iTunes and transfer your exercise data to nikeplus.com, where you can track your workouts, set goals, and challenge friends.
Multi-Touch
iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone.
Glide, Flick, Pinch
Built to take full advantage of the large 3.5-inch display, the Multi-Touch touchscreen interface lets you control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flick through photos and enlarge them with a pinch, zoom in and out on a section of a web page, and control game elements precisely.
How it Works
The Multi-Touch display layers a protective shield over a capacitive panel that senses your touch using electrical fields. It then transmits that information to the LCD screen below it. iPod touch software enables the flick, tap, and pinch.
Type with the Touchscreen Keyboard
iPod touch features an intelligent touchscreen keyboard perfect for browsing the web in Safari, getting directions on a map, searching for videos on YouTube, finding music on the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, or adding new contacts. It analyzes keystrokes to suggest words as you type and correct spelling errors automatically. And because it’s software based, it changes its keys to support typing in multiple languages.
iPod touch locates nearby wireless hotspots, including protected networks. |
Accelerometer
iPod touch responds to motion using a built-in accelerometer.
Responds to Movement
iPod touch detects when you rotate it from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display. So you immediately see the entire width of a web page, view a photo in its proper aspect ratio, or control a game using only your movements.
How it Works
The accelerometer inside iPod touch uses three elements: a silicon mass, a set of silicon springs, and an electrical current. The silicon springs measure the position of the silicon mass using the electrical current. Rotating iPod touch causes a fluctuation in the electrical current passing through the silicon springs. The accelerometer registers these fluctuations and tells iPod touch to adjust the display accordingly.
Perfect for Gaming
Accelerometer technology really shines when you play games because it immerses you in the action. It’s perfect for racing games–where your entire iPod touch acts as a steering wheel–and for tap-and-tilt games like Super Monkey Ball, in which your character responds to your every movement.
Wireless
Connect iPod touch to the Internet anywhere there’s a wireless network.
Connect Automatically
iPod touch locates nearby wireless hotspots, including protected networks. If you’ve never used a particular network, it asks you to enter a password the first time, and it remembers the password from then on. So the next time you’re within range, it connects automatically.
Surf’s Up
Now you can send email from a coffee shop. Surf the web at the airport. Shop for games from your couch. Browse, buy, and download music from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store at select Starbucks locations or other wireless hotspots in your area.

User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Fun for everyone!
My 14YO received this as a gift and he has hardly put it down since. For the most part, he uses this more often than his laptop. He has games, access to the internet, videos, applications, information, emails– including his ‘top secret’ yahoo and google email accounts… It has everything a 14 YO could ever want or need.
One thing that concerned me, before we even selected this one, was the reports of problems people had with their ipods getting water damage from humid environments or from sweating while working out. It seems ridiculous that Apple has not addressed this problem and seems content to let the problem be the responsibility of an unsuspecting public. But that was also the way they dealt with our irreplaceable batteries on the first generation ipods. It wasn’t until enough pressure was put on Apple that the batteries became available and could be replaced instead of replacing the ipod. I have not heard a word about Apple addressing this problem.
To protect us from this problem, my 14YO uses other devices when he is out running or for carrying around to school or sailing. That has worked out for a variety of reasons, including his amazing and incredible ability to set things down and walk away from them.
4 Stars All around great
I love the iPod touch. The 32 GB would have been great if I was able to get it shipped to me from the seller that I tried to go thru… Said that they didn’t have a printer to print out the customs forms to send it to my deployed location. I had to settle for the 16GB version. I could have really used the extra space, but the touch is perfect for me here. Don’t have to carry around my laptop any more. Got everything on the touch. It is kind of wierd that you can’t use the normal chargers for this version. You have to use the plug that you plug the USB into, don’t get the firewire version or it’ll say that it is not supported.
5 Stars wonderful
this is a wonderful product easy to use I would recommend this product to anyone and the other reviews that says that it scratches easy well I bought a case for it and it is fine the price is worth it.
5 Stars iTouch for Father’s Day
I purchased the iTouch 16 GB for my husband for Father’s Day. I was suprised at how quickly it came. In less than 4 days. It turned out to be the perfect gift. He uses it daily! He really likes the touch screen. It’s simple and intuitive to use. I think I’ll ask for one for my birthday.
5 Stars ipod touch is great!
The ipod touch is the first ipod I’ve owned. Aside from the fact that I wished the battery lasted longer, I’m really happy with it.

Play slideshows, complete with music and transitions. Email a photo to a friend, set it as your wallpaper, or share it in a MobileMe Gallery.
Save Photos
If you receive a great image in an email, save it to your photo library on iPod touch. Once there, it acts just like any other photo. You can set it as your wallpaper, share it on the web, or pass it on.
Sync Photos
iPod touch uses iTunes to sync photos you have in iPhoto on a Mac or Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Photoshop Album on a PC. Just choose which photos or albums to sync to your iPod touch, then you can look at them–and share them–anywhere you go.
Calendar
With iPod touch, it’s easy to make plans and stay on schedule.
Add Events
Keep your schedule at your fingertips with iPod touch. Add events to your calendar. Set a custom alert. Write a note or two. Manage multiple color-coded calendars. And do it all with just a few taps.
Stay in Sync
Connect iPod touch to your computer, and the events that you’ve created on-the-go automatically sync to Microsoft Outlook on a PC or iCal on a Mac. And all the events you’ve added on your computer sync to iPod touch.
Three Ways to View
iPod touch gives you three ways to view your calendars. List view shows you all your appointments in the coming days as a comprehensive list, which you can scroll up and down. Day view displays one day’s worth of appointments visually. And Month view offers an at-a-glance look at an entire month.
Contacts
Put names, email addresses, phone numbers, and more at your fingertips.
Make Contact
Build your contacts list on your Mac with Address Book or on your PC with Microsoft Outlook, then sync everything to your iPod touch using iTunes. You also can add contact information directly to your iPod touch from maps, web pages, and email. Next time you sync, your computer is updated, too.
Search Contacts
If you have a lot of contacts, a quick search shows you a list of matching names. Or you can scroll up and down your entire list to find the right contact. Want to send them an email? Just tap an email address and the Mail application opens automatically.
Organized by Groups
If you keep your contacts organized into groups–such as co-workers, friends, family, and so on–iPod touch will, too. And iPod touch can hold more than just names, email addresses, and phone numbers. You also can track birthdays, websites, nicknames, and notes.
Stocks, Weather, and Notes
Stay on top of it all.
Check Stocks
Stocks on iPod touch shows you performance information for any stock you choose. When you want more details about a stock’s performance, tap the Y! for instant access to Yahoo! Finance.
Get Weather
Check worldwide weather at home or away. Add the cities you want, then flick back and forth to get six-day forecasts for each. Tap the Y! to open a Yahoo! city guide that shows you what’s happening, rain or shine.
Take Notes
Forget the pen and paper. Use Notes on iPod touch to write yourself a quick note and keep important information on hand. There’s even a built-in email function that lets you send notes to yourself or others.
Calculator
iPod touch’s calculator helps you settle the restaurant bill or keep track of your budget.
Calculate Simply
When you tap the Calculator icon, iPod touch shows you a simple application with addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and memory functions. Use it just as you would a pocket calculator.

Nike + iPod
Get the most out of your workout.
Tune Your Run
iPod touch now includes built-in Nike + iPod support. Just slip the Nike + iPod Sensor (available separately) into your Nike+ shoe and start your run. The sensor communicates wirelessly with your iPod touch, tracking your time, distance, and calories burned. It even gives you voice feedback on your progress.
Tune Your Cardio Workout
This feature also works with new cardio equipment available in many fitness centers. Just look for treadmills, ellipticals, stair steppers, and stationary bikes that are Nike + iPod compatible.
Sync with Nikeplus.com
When you get back to your computer, sync your iPod touch via iTunes and transfer your exercise data to nikeplus.com, where you can track your workouts, set goals, and challenge friends.
Multi-Touch
iPod touch features the same revolutionary interface as iPhone.
Glide, Flick, Pinch
Built to take full advantage of the large 3.5-inch display, the Multi-Touch touchscreen interface lets you control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flick through photos and enlarge them with a pinch, zoom in and out on a section of a web page, and control game elements precisely.
How it Works
The Multi-Touch display layers a protective shield over a capacitive panel that senses your touch using electrical fields. It then transmits that information to the LCD screen below it. iPod touch software enables the flick, tap, and pinch.
Type with the Touchscreen Keyboard
iPod touch features an intelligent touchscreen keyboard perfect for browsing the web in Safari, getting directions on a map, searching for videos on YouTube, finding music on the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, or adding new contacts. It analyzes keystrokes to suggest words as you type and correct spelling errors automatically. And because it’s software based, it changes its keys to support typing in multiple languages.
|
iPod touch locates nearby wireless hotspots, including protected networks. |
Accelerometer
iPod touch responds to motion using a built-in accelerometer.
Responds to Movement
iPod touch detects when you rotate it from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display. So you immediately see the entire width of a web page, view a photo in its proper aspect ratio, or control a game using only your movements.
How it Works
The accelerometer inside iPod touch uses three elements: a silicon mass, a set of silicon springs, and an electrical current. The silicon springs measure the position of the silicon mass using the electrical current. Rotating iPod touch causes a fluctuation in the electrical current passing through the silicon springs. The accelerometer registers these fluctuations and tells iPod touch to adjust the display accordingly.
Perfect for Gaming
Accelerometer technology really shines when you play games because it immerses you in the action. It’s perfect for racing games–where your entire iPod touch acts as a steering wheel–and for tap-and-tilt games like Super Monkey Ball, in which your character responds to your every movement.
Wireless
Connect iPod touch to the Internet anywhere there’s a wireless network.
Connect Automatically
iPod touch locates nearby wireless hotspots, including protected networks. If you’ve never used a particular network, it asks you to enter a password the first time, and it remembers the password from then on. So the next time you’re within range, it connects automatically.
Surf’s Up
Now you can send email from a coffee shop. Surf the web at the airport. Shop for games from your couch. Browse, buy, and download music from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store at select Starbucks locations or other wireless hotspots in your area.

5 Stars iTouch for Father’s Day
I purchased the iTouch 16 GB for my husband for Father’s Day. I was suprised at how quickly it came. In less than 4 days. It turned out to be the perfect gift. He uses it daily! He really likes the touch screen. It’s simple and intuitive to use. I think I’ll ask for one for my birthday.
4 Stars All around great
I love the iPod touch. The 32 GB would have been great if I was able to get it shipped to me from the seller that I tried to go thru… Said that they didn’t have a printer to print out the customs forms to send it to my deployed location. I had to settle for the 16GB version. I could have really used the extra space, but the touch is perfect for me here. Don’t have to carry around my laptop any more. Got everything on the touch. It is kind of wierd that you can’t use the normal chargers for this version. You have to use the plug that you plug the USB into, don’t get the firewire version or it’ll say that it is not supported.
5 Stars wonderful
this is a wonderful product easy to use I would recommend this product to anyone and the other reviews that says that it scratches easy well I bought a case for it and it is fine the price is worth it.
5 Stars Fun for everyone!
My 14YO received this as a gift and he has hardly put it down since. For the most part, he uses this more often than his laptop. He has games, access to the internet, videos, applications, information, emails– including his ‘top secret’ yahoo and google email accounts… It has everything a 14 YO could ever want or need.
One thing that concerned me, before we even selected this one, was the reports of problems people had with their ipods getting water damage from humid environments or from sweating while working out. It seems ridiculous that Apple has not addressed this problem and seems content to let the problem be the responsibility of an unsuspecting public. But that was also the way they dealt with our irreplaceable batteries on the first generation ipods. It wasn’t until enough pressure was put on Apple that the batteries became available and could be replaced instead of replacing the ipod. I have not heard a word about Apple addressing this problem.
To protect us from this problem, my 14YO uses other devices when he is out running or for carrying around to school or sailing. That has worked out for a variety of reasons, including his amazing and incredible ability to set things down and walk away from them.
5 Stars ipod touch is great!
The ipod touch is the first ipod I’ve owned. Aside from the fact that I wished the battery lasted longer, I’m really happy with it.
